Adugodi traffic police inspector Jeep adds Traffic woes

Around noon on Tuesday, traffic on the 100-ft inner ring road in Koramangala was completely thrown out of gear for nearly 45 minutes. This was because of traffic police jeep parked in the middle of the road. The 100-ft road near BDA complex in Koramangala already has a traffic problem due to ongoing construction work of an underpass near the Kendriya Sadan complex and traffic diversion of Vehicles moving from Silkboard and electronic city towards Water tank in Koramangala.

“Doesn’t she know that leaving her vehicle in the midst of a busy road would also cause traffic problems? If the traffic cops themselves create this kind of chaos, then only god can protect the city’s traffic,” said a commuter in Koramangala.

Onlookers and motorists initially thought that the jeep had suffered a breakdown. There was also no sign of a breakdown. On her part, Inspector Susheela seemed unperturbed by the chaos she had created. “Yes, I parked my jeep on the road as there was no space around. It was important for me to attend to the traffic jam on the adjoining road in the interest of the public. Why don’t you understand that I did not go there for my personal work,” she retorted.

“I initially did not know what the reason was. But when I got down from my car to see what was happening, I saw a police jeep without any driver parked in the middle of the road. This is certainly not the way in which a public servant should act,” said Alok Kumar Varma, a software employee at a reputed firm in Electronics City, who was struck in the traffic jam for more than half an hour.
